I really don't want to take shortcuts anymore

Chapter 490 Repentance and Perseverance
"Your Excellency is too kind." Young Master Mo said calmly, "Who are we? As long as the Prime Minister and his wife don't accuse us, we will be satisfied. How can we dare to ask for any explanation?"

He said it lightly, but Xin He didn't know why, but he suddenly felt a sense of fear and trembling in his heart, as if he was facing not a useless marquis in name only, but some extremely terrifying prehistoric monster.

"What are you talking about, my Lord?" Xin He felt his back was soaked with cold sweat. "You are the blood of the late emperor, and you are officially listed in the imperial family's jade book. The title of Xianghou was bestowed by the late emperor posthumously. In terms of noble status, few people in Xijing can compare with you - please don't joke with me like this."

"Haha." Master Mo laughed a few times and said, "Since Prime Minister Xin is so sincere, Chu will not say anything more. I will just wait and see what you do."

"Yes, yes. Don't worry, my lord." Xin He wiped the sweat from his forehead, stood up, and glared at Huo Xiu fiercely.

She had calmed down now, with a smile on her face. She was no longer struggling like she had just now. She said directly to the maids, "Let go. I can walk by myself."

Huo Xiu was the mistress of the Xin family, and the maids did not dare to go against her wishes, so they hesitated and let go.

This time she really thought it through, and she really walked out of the room surrounded by the crowd. Before leaving the house, she turned around and said to Luo Qianhuai:

"Madam Jing, I misunderstood you before, so I made a mistake. Fortunately, you have a good fortune and nothing has happened to you. But I don't want to make excuses for myself. This time, you saved Yun'er without any grudges, which makes me ashamed. So no matter what explanation you want, I will never bargain. Even if you want my life, I will not complain."

Huo Xiu's ability to admit her mistake so cleanly and proactively changed Luo Qianhuai's opinion of her.

"Madam, I remember what you said. Right now, your daughter's health is the most important thing, so let's put other things aside for now." She said in a calm voice, "Madam, your mood has been very volatile today, why don't you go back and rest first. After the eldest lady recovers, there will still be a lot of things that can be relied on by you."

This means that he will not be too fussy and will not ask for her life. Huo Xiu breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking of his daughter's future, hope appeared in his eyes. He said repeatedly, "Okay, okay! I'll leave right away, right away!"

Master Mo sighed almost imperceptibly, and his eyes fell gently on Luo Qianhuai's face, full of doting.

He knew that she was too soft-hearted. But he would always stand behind her and make those who dared to bully her pay the price.

As long as the Qi starts to move and the intestines start to rumble, there will be no doubt about Mrs. Xin’s illness.

It is really a relief that I don't have to use the last resort and don't have to bother negotiating with the Xin family about matters related to the operation.

Madam Xin is going to be the queen in the future. If she has a scar on her belly, it is unknown whether she is still qualified to sit on that throne. Or even if she does sit on it, whether she can keep the seat firmly is unknown.

Fortunately, she seemed to be a blessed person. Just as Luo Qianhuai had predicted, she began to pass gas and defecate after half a cup of tea. Although the smell was a little hard to describe, it was what the doctor was most happy to see at the moment, indicating that the obstructed intestine had been unblocked, and from then on, heaven and earth were in harmony, and everything would be fine. Inside the Beique Huo Mansion. Zhang Xianqiu got the news that his granddaughter was fine, and he patted his chest and said, "Master Xuanzhen is right. Yun'er is indeed blessed. Is this really out of danger? Quick, prepare one thousand. No, two thousand gold coins for incense money, and follow me to Qiyun Temple to meet the Taoist priest and thank him in person!"

Madam Meng, who was following her, was the one who had just gone to Xin's house with her. She frowned and reminded Zhang Xianqiu, "Madam, the person who cured Madam Ayun was Madam Jing from Ji'antang."

When Zhang Xianqiu heard the name, he recalled what happened in Xin's house before, and a feeling of disgust rose in his heart instantly: "Don't mention her to me. My good mood was ruined by such a cheap thing. It was Yun'er's own blessing to be able to turn danger into safety. It would be the same no matter who treated her. She got the advantage for nothing!"

Madam Meng had served her for many years, and she knew very well that her wife's opinion of Madam Jing would never change. However, she had no friendship with Madam Jing, so she naturally did not speak to persuade her, but just asked in a low voice:

"Do you want to continue with the arrangements that Madam asked me to make after returning home? Or should we postpone it for a while."

Zhang Xianqiu glared at her unhappily: "Of course, let's do what we have to do! Send her down earlier so that Yu'er can live more comfortably down there! As for the time, there is no need to change it. If we can't deal with her before the wedding, who knows how many accidents will happen in the future!"

"During this period of time, everyone thought that Xiu'er and I should be grateful to Madam Jing. Even if she had an accident, no one would suspect me. By the way, you should prepare some gifts immediately and send them to Ji'antang in the name of the Huo family in a high-profile manner to avoid giving people a chance to criticize you!"

"Madam is really thoughtful." Nanny Meng nodded in response, turned around and left the room, leaving Zhang Xianqiu alone.

"Yu'er, is that you?" She approached the portrait of Huo Yu hanging on the wall, looked up and asked softly, "You cured your niece with the help of Madam Jing, right? Mother knows that you are a good brother and will never watch your sister lose her beloved daughter and be heartbroken - but why don't you think about mother? How will mother live after you are gone!"

She covered her mouth with a handkerchief and sobbed for a long time before wiping away her tears and continuing, "Don't worry, mother has already made arrangements. She will soon send the lady you like, Jing, down to accompany you."

Huo Xuan's hand, which was about to push the door, stopped in mid-air.

He turned around and looked around. The two attendants lowered their heads expressionlessly, as if they had heard nothing. The maids and servants who had been guarding the door had already knelt on the ground silently, not even daring to breathe.

After a long time, Huo Xuan took a big step and left silently like when he came.

"Go check." After leaving the main courtyard, he spoke, suppressing the anger in his chest.

Suddenly, someone answered "yes" out of nowhere behind him, and then there was no movement. Neither Huo Xuan nor his followers showed any strange expression.
